Ogden Lights and Logan Windows

We love to visit Ogden's Christmas Village to see the lights and displays in all the houses. We brought Grandpa and Grandma Blanchard along with us this year on Monday, 20 December. We had a delightful, chilly, festive time.

This tree was the exact color of the grinch this year.
(In the past it's been blueish purple, I think.)

A cute Grinch-themed display, complete with a Grinch
lego set on the table (the kids were super into that!).

We always love the nutcracker house.

And I remember liking the dinosaur one last year, too.

The Dinosaur's Night Before Christmas is one of Sam's
all-time Christmas faves.

The kids and I were up in Cache Valley on Wednesday, 22 December to help Kylie with a little last-minute Christmas shopping since she was sick in bed with Hand Foot and Mouth (ack!). My mom had a bell choir concert that evening, and had to be at the venue early, so she was sending Megan and my dad out to fend for themselves for dinner at Center Street Grill. They invited Cal and Sam and me to join them, and then we all walked around Main Street and Center Street to see the gingerbread house displays in the store windows. The most common idea seemed to be the "downtown Logan" themed ones, but all were quite impressive. The candy windows in the Bluebird and the bank were super fun, too.

Cal was NOT impressed with the size of her burger.
(It was a kids burger, but it was the size of a slider,
and she's such a burger lover, that she was pretty disappointed.)
Good thing those fries made up for it!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

I think this one is my fave.

I spy a lot of Logan landmarks in the wrong places.
Also, this one's theme was Back to the Future. Do you see
the tire skid marks and flames in the street?

This one was a little more accurate in building placement.

So impressive that is all edible!
